Contours Travel has been creating unique tailor made tours to Latin America since 1975 and it is what we do best. Tailor made means going you own way, seeing things at your own pace and doing what matters to you!
Not into markets or churches? No worries! Love all things culinary and are keen to master the art of local cuisine? Just let us know and before you know it, you’ll be whipping up a plate of ceviche with one of Lima’s finest chefs! We at Contours Travel believe the best holiday experiences are made by you and for you.
So what are some of the most common myths to tailor made tours of South America?
Tailor Made Tours Are Expensive!
Wrong! A tailor-made tour is often cheaper in dollar terms and is always better value than a group tour. Why? First of all, you are only paying for the destinations and sights you are interested in. Secondly, you are not paying the salary and living costs of a tour escort. And lastly, your holiday has been created firmly with you in mind – it’s not just some off-the-shelf product.
It’s safer to travel in a group.
Wrong again. Security comes from having your itinerary carefully planned by an experienced professional – from having the right accommodation, good advice prior to departure and having 24/7 emergency support provided by our outstanding in-country partners.
Tailor Made Tours are hard work.
Absolutely not! In fact, a well-planned and perfectly executed independent touring itinerary is one of the easiest and most relaxing ways to experience a foreign country. And unlike group travel, you don’t need to worry about not getting along with your fellow travelers or tour guide. You simply arrive at each destination where your English speaking local guide is waiting, enjoy day tours which have been selected according to your own personal interest and budget – and stay in the types of hotels or guesthouses that you prefer.
The more we know about your own personal travel style, the better prepared we are to create a seamless holiday experience that is perfect for you and your family.
